TESTIMONIALS

“Working with Mike over the past year has been genuinely transformative. He helped me unpick some of the complexities and feelings I had about my future direction, creating space to explore what really matters. I realised how closely my personal and professional journeys are entwined, and how important it is to allow myself time to pause and reflect.

"Through our sessions, I’ve gained not only clarity about what I want next, but also valuable insight into what I don’t want, which has been just as important. The practical tools and exercises we used have helped me move forward with greater confidence and purpose. Above all, the experience has reminded me of the value of investing in myself and taking the time to shape the path ahead intentionally.”

"I would highly recommend career coaching to anyone, especially with Mike. His guidance and thoughtful questions helped me gain clarity and make informed decisions about my career. Mike has a real talent for picking up on non-verbal cues, which helped me uncover how I truly felt about my career path and gave me the confidence to take positive steps forward. 

"What I especially valued was how the coaching touched on the connection between career and personal life. This encouraged me to reflect on my values and identify what was genuinely right for me, something I may not have explored on my own.

"Mike is warm, approachable, and non-judgmental, which made it easy for me to be open and honest from the start. Thanks to our sessions, I now feel confident in the career decisions I’ve made and have already begun taking real action toward the path I want to pursue."

'I think it wasn’t until the 5th session I gave myself permission to explore what it was I’d really wanted to – my own connection and identity within the Queer spectrum. 

'A benefit of this being by the time I got there, there was a lot of trust in the bank to start to unpack the topic, and in a space I wouldn’t with others in my life.'

"The ability to pick up on a nugget of what a client is saying amongst the stream of consciousness they’re hearing from the client, and probe further. Mike is brilliant at this."

‘One of the signs of a great coach, for me, is the ability to pick up on a nugget of what a client is saying amongst the stream of consciousness they’re hearing from the client, and probe further. 

Mike is brilliant at this.
